Los Patios is so beautiful I practically gasped when we entered. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is one of the most gorgeously designed and inviting hotels I have ever been inside. The open courtyard contains the reception, kitchen, pool, swings, dining tables and numerous lounge areas. If you like Scandinavian design, you will love this place. I practically had to tear myself away from the hotel to see the sights of Granada, as I was so happy just lounging by the pool or in one of the swing chairs. The staff were also quite friendly. We arrived very early in the morning after a long drive, before our room was ready. They told us to relax in the common area, and we fell asleep in the hammocks. When we woke up, they brought us cafe con leche and fresh squeezed orange juice. The hotel is also very centrally located--an easy walk to the lakeshore, the central plaza, and many good restaurants and cafes. The block on which it is located is a little downtrodden but seemed pretty safe and, again, conveniently located. I would return to Granada just for this hotel.
